Notes on LCD screen
• The displayed image on the screen is not identical in
picture quality and colors with the printed image
because display methods or profiles differ. Please
regard the displayed image as just a reference.
• Do not press against the LCD screen. The screen
may be discolored and that may cause a
malfunction.
• Exposing the LCD screen to direct sunlight for a
long period may cause malfunctions.
• The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely
high-precision technology, so over 99.99% of the
pixels are operational for effective use. However,
there may be some tiny black points and/or bright
points (white, red, blue or green in color) that
constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points
are normal in the manufacturing process and do not
affect the printing in any way.
• Images may trail across on the LCD screen in a cold
location. This is not a malfunction.
Duplication, edition, or printing of a CD, TV
program, copyrighted materials such as pictures or
publications, or any other materials except for your
own recording or creation is limited to private or
domestic use only. Unless you hold copyright or
have permission from copyright holders for the
materials to be duplicated, use of those materials
beyond this limit may infringe the provisions of the
copyright law and be subject to the copyright
holder’s claim for damages.
When using photo images with this printer, pay
special attention not to infringe the provisions of
the copyright law. Any unauthorized use or
modification of portraits may also infringe their
rights.
For some demonstrations, performances, or
exhibits, photography may be forbidden.
Backup recommendations
To avoid potential risk of data loss caused by
accidental operation or malfunction of the printer,
we recommend that you save a backup copy of
your data.

Notes
• Do not touch the ink ribbon or store the ink ribbon
in a dusty location. Fingerprints or dust on the ink
ribbon may result in imperfect printing.
• Do not rewind the ink ribbon and use the rewound
ink ribbon for printing. Otherwise, proper printing
results will not be obtained, or a malfunction may
occur. If the ink ribbon does not click into place,
remove it and then re-insert it. Only when the ink
ribbon is too slack to be loaded, keep pressing the
core of the ribbon and wind the ink ribbon in the
direction of the arrow to remove the slack.
• Do not disassemble the ink ribbon.
• Do not pull out the ribbon from the ink ribbon.
• Do not remove the ink ribbon while printing.
• Avoid placing the ink ribbon in a location subject
to high temperatures, high humidity, excessive
dust or direct sunlight. Please store it in a cool and
dark place and use it within a short period from the
date of production. Depending on the storage
conditions, the ink ribbon may deteriorate. Use of
such an ink ribbon may affect the printed results,
for which we cannot guarantee or compensate.
Inserting the print paper
1Open the paper tray cover.
Hold the parts on both sides of the paper
tray cover (shown with arrows) and open
the paper tray cover.

Preparations
3Close the paper tray cover.
4Open the slide cover.
5Insert the paper tray into the printer.
Notes
• You can set up to 20 sheets of print paper. Riffle
the print paper thoroughly. Insert the print paper
with the protective sheet facing up. Remove the
protective sheet from the tray.
• If there is no protective sheet, insert the print paper
into the paper tray with its printing surface (the
side with no imprint) facing up.
• Do not touch the printing surface. Fingerprints or
contamination on the printing surface may result in
imperfect printing.
• Do not bend the print paper, or cut the print paper
from the perforations before printing.
• To avoid paper jam or malfunctions of the printer,
make sure of the following before printing:
– Do not write or type on the print paper.
– Do not attach a sticker or stamps on the print
paper.
– When adding print paper to the paper tray, be
sure that the total number of print paper sheets
does not exceed 20 sheets.
– Do not insert different types of print paper
together into the paper tray.
– Do not print on used print paper. Printing an
image twice on the same paper will not make
the printed image thicker.
– Use the print paper for this printer only.
– Do not use print paper ejected without printing.
Notes on storing the print paper
• To store print paper in the tray, remove the paper
tray from the printer and close the slide door of the
paper tray.
• Avoid storing the paper with the printed faces
touching each other or in contact with rubber or
plastic products, including vinyl chloride or
plasticizer for an extended period of time; color
changes or deterioration of the printed image may
occur.
• Avoid placing the print paper in a location subject
to high temperatures, high humidity, excessive
dust or direct sunlight.
• When you are going to store partially-used print
paper, store it in its original bag or a similar
container.

Connecting to the AC
power source
1Insert the plug of the AC adaptor
into the DC IN 24 V jack on the back
of the printer.
2Connect one plug of the AC power
cord to the connector of the AC
adaptor and the other plug to the
wall outlet.
Notes
• Do not place the printer in an unstable location
such as on a wobbly table.
• Leave enough room around the printer. The print
paper emerges from the back a few times during
printing. Keep 10 cm (13/32 inches) or more space
at the rear of the printer.
• Connect the AC adaptor to an easily accessible
wall outlet close by. If trouble occurs while using
the adaptor, immediately shut off the power by
disconnecting the plug from the wall outlet.
• Do not short the plug of the AC adaptor with a
metallic object, as this may cause a malfunction.
• Do not use the AC adaptor placed in a narrow
space, such as between a wall and furniture.
• When you have finished using the AC adaptor,
disconnect the AC power cord from the
DC IN 24 V jack of the printer and from the AC
power sources.
• The printer is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the printer itself has been turned off.
• A socket outlet should be as close as possible to the
unit and easily accessible.
To use your Printer abroad -
